• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I thought he was going to do it when when
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: they told me that people was an All Star. In
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: my head, I was like, Oh, he's doing the home
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: run derby. And then when I found out that he
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't doing I was like, oh.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Mets manager Carlos Mendoza back on foul territory, Mendy, good
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: to see you, and I'm sure a nice happy evening
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: after the game to celebrate a big comeback win. What's
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: it like when you have comeback wins like that. I mean,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: obviously it's good to get a win in any form
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: of win is a win, but is a win really
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: a win? Besides, you know, coming back from a game
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: What's up? Fellas? He was a great win for us,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you know, getting down four runs.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I think he was going into the eighth in and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: knowing that the bullpen from Baltimore.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Man, they got some legit arms there. You know. But
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: when we're clicking h we never feel like we're out
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of the game.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And we saw it with the name leading off that inning,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: working at I think was an eight pitch at bat.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Get some bass, lindor clip them now we would you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: within striking distance, uh Soto, get some bass and then
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Pete with the time once so on before you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I have four hitters, Uh, Tye Bowl game.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's always a good feeling.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go back to that Sunday game against
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the Yankees where we were down five or six too
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in the middle innings and we you know, we put
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a rally together before we know it, We're right, we
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: were right back in the game. So uh again, it's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: good to see those guys clicking and uh for us
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to be able to to get that victory last night,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the way we did it, it was a.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It was a good feeling. Not gonna lie, Carlos.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: It was great to see the home runs. But I
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: want to go about bullpen management with you. I always,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I'm always fascinated by bullpen management. No, just in this
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: game particular. You use Diaz in the ninth, okay, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: then you use Braza band in the tent to get
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: out of what the the Manfred runner on second? Is
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: there any have you ever thought about And again this
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: is probably not because the Orios did the same thing,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: ty game. They use Bautista in the ninth to get
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: to the tenth. Then you guys score the run in
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the tent and then you get to the but then
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: you're in the bottom of the tent. It's a safe
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: situation and you don't have your closer. Have you ever
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: thought about flip flopping Braza, Ban and Diaz. I know
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you say you got to get to the tent first,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: but it just seems like most teams count on scoring
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the ghost runner and then all right, at the bottom
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: of the inning comes, we need strikeouts and we can't
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: let them score.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think every situation is different in There'll be
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: times where I might go whether it's a Brazlova and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the stantic Garrett.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Before I go to Diaz. But where we.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Were at yesterday, I knew if we didn't score in
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the ninth, we had our best hitters coming up. We
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: had Toto, we had pet, we had those guys. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: my thinking the whole time was I'm gonna get Das
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in the game. If we score here in the in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the ninth, then it's a safe situation. But if we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: go to go to extras, I want to give these
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: guys another chance to get to the play and you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: knowing that they use a lot of their high leverage
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: relief about Tisa was already in the game, and you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: all of those guys bay heres.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So again, I think it's where you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: At, where they at, bullpen wise, who's coming up you,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: who's coming up from them? And I thought yesterday was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a situation where it's like, you know what, I'm gonna
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: shoot Das here, I'm gonna get him hot. He's in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the game and I'm trying to get the offense another chance.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm glad that he worked out yesterday.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Brazoban came in and and got the last three outs.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And that's what I keep telling these guys, man, like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: every time we'll give you the ball. He could be
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: down five up five down one up one in the ninth, Like,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: just go out there and get three outs.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You know. Obviously with dis is different.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Uh there's a lot of different ways that I could,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know, use them, but yesterday, in that particular time,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I thought it was best to uh to use them there.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: All right, I gotta talk about starter usage. If he's
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: gonna talk about bullpen usage, I'm gonna talk about starter usage.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Do you lose sleep over the arguments you have with
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: front office, the training step about when a starter should
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: or shouldn't come out, come out of the game. You've
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: watched a lot of games. You watch a lot of
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: games in the minor leagues, a lot of games in
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: the big leagues. Your view and feel for how a
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: starting pitcher is pitching can't just be on a piece
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: of paper? Am I right? Or does it have to
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: be you're feeling it? You know your bullpen is cash.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: You know you're still in the beginning part of July.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: You got to get these guys through two and a
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: half more months of baseball. How do you deal with
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: that and how do you argue with them? Or do
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: you just say, you know what, we're winning today's game
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: and we'll figure out surgeries to August.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we win today, we'll figure it out tomorrow. We'll figure
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: out August September. You know, like the most important game
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: is tonight. Tonight's game, you know, and we get together,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you know, with the pitching coaches. We have a really
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: good process here, and he's very flexible and you're Huntrey
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: percent right, right. It's not like I'm going out there
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and say, well, Clay Holmes, for instance, is got.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Eighty five pitches.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Now we know that this is the first time for
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: him as a starter, and he's making a huge transition.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: He already exceeded his inning from his previous years. Like,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but he's going. Like yesterday was a perfect example. He's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: through five, he's seventy one pitches. You know, the first
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: two guys get on and I'm gonna go to the bullpen.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: There because there's two guys on his third time through.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: The guy was dominating for five innings, you know, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a chance to get through to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: do the mess. You know, I wanted to keep going,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: especially with how much we've been using our guys from
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the bullpen.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So that's the perfect example.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Now, guys coming back from injuries, whether it's a Senga,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: whether it's a Manaya coming up real soon here, then
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we have a number that stick to it because of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the injury that they're coming they're coming from. But as
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: far as like the other guys, you know, there's gonna
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be times so they're gonna go one hundred and.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Ten, there's gonna be guys that you know depict.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go back to homes the previous outing
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: he was, I took him out after eighty five pitches
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and he was through five, but he walked four lefties,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you know, in that it wasn't like he was dominating.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And there was like four leftist coming up in the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: six innings, and I said that was it. And it
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: wasn't just because he was only gonna go eighty five pitches.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I was watching the game and he was pretty clear
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: he didn't have the change.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Up that day.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yesterday he had the change up. So that's what you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: know is day by day the cases. The cases are
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: different and you have to go. Yeah, you prepare, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the game will tell you what to do.
• 6:54

  Speaker 4: No kidding, all right, So I've got to ask you
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: mentioned Sega Manaya. It said no quote, no restrictions on them.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Does that mean they're going out there chucking one hundred pitches?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Does that mean you told Senge to cover first base
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: or stop covering first base?
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: What does no restrictions mean?
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I said, no restrictions, that's what the people are reporting, Carlos,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I mean we have a number that we are comfortable
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: with as far as PITCHCN goes. Like I just said,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you know, with Senga after being down for a month Manaya,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you know, first time, but that's basically it. You know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: like we have an idea of you know, how many
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: pitches we want them to throw.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And other than that, go play baseball, go pitch.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Many of the All Star games coming up, And before
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: AJ gets to the tougher question, I'll get you to
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: a fun question. What would you add to the All
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Star Game to make it creative and fun? I said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: I want to see the fastest runners run against each
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: other a sixty. I want to see the throw the
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: ball as far as they possibly can. I know teams
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: won't allow that, But what's something fun that we could
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: add to the All Star Game that would be that
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: would that you would okay as a manager, be like,
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: oh no, no, not my Lindor. I don't want my
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Lindor running as fast as he can one time in
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: a sprint so that he stays healthy.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Man, you kind of cough me off guard here. But
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know the first thing that comes to mind. Uh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You know, when I first heard about it the Golden
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: at Bat, I thought it was a crazy idea, you know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but hey, why not in the All Star Game?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, you got as a manager, you got
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a bunch of superstars, which one you wanna pick? So
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know that's the first thing that you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Like I said, because you gotta call me off guard.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: But it'll be a pretty tough spot as a manager
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of an All Star team.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: To say, hey, you get an opportunity to pick one,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: go ahead, good luck, you know. True?
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: True.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: By the way, Mandy I also said, I I'm in
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Atlanta right now. They have the softball fence out. Not
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: only could you do golden and bat, but you once
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: a game you could call in the softball fence to
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: be wheeled out and it's like two hundred and fifty
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: feet and if that guy on the golden bat hits
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: a home run, accounts is like five runs right over
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: the softball fence, not over the real fence.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: And then they got what if you don't hit.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: It out of the fence, he's that guy is like
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a six house.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: And then that's what I'm saying, Yeah, like, think about
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: all the fun you could have with this whole thing,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: right So now, I mean there are a million things
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: you could go and if we want to make this fun.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: But now they're bringing in the abs.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Is that the reason Wan Soto was not in the
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: All Star Game because he has an eye so good
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: that he would be going like this on every pitch
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: and they would want to speed this game.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Up a little bit.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm a big fan of a ABS,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, And that's my feedback after
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a screen training, after going through there.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: He adds so much to the game.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like he adds his strategy to it, because
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: if you got selfies players, there are going to be
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: challenging early in them, and then before you know it,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in the eighth on the ninth with the game on
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the line, you need that and you're out of it,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you know so. And also for me, he just eliminates
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the back and forth from the dog out with the umpires,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you know, like you want to argue, go ahead and challenge,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And there's a little bit of accountability here for both games,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you know so.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I just saw that they're gonna do it in the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: All Star Game, and uh, I'm really looking forward to it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Well what about one? What about one? Missing the you
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: missed you you dodge that part of the question one,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: So to give.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Us your incredible I don't get it, you know.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Uh. He's he's our MVP, you know, he's an m
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: VP for us. He's an All start for us. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just hoping that in the next day or two
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: we get a call and uh he gets in by
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: because uh it's hard to believe that, you know, when
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you look at what he's done. You know all the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: way to them, he's not an all start.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: So and the players, the players got it wrong. It
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: wasn't even the fans that got it wrong. The players
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: got it wrong. So that's that's my issue. But I
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: also said they brought out the they brought out those
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: voting sheets, and Wan wasn't quite hot enough yet. Anyway,
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: all that to say, you hit on it a little bit,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: you said the arguing from the dugout, Mendy, I've seen
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: a little bit too many veins popping on the side
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: of your head recently. Do you feel like you're a
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: little bit more on edge when your team is going
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: through a tough stretch and calls don't go your way.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: If you win sixteen of eighteen, are you gonna argue
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: the same amount of balls and strikes as if your
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: team loses thirteen of sixteen.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it'll be the same amount, but it
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: just went out they are that drastic in the situation
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of the game. You know, I'm gonna go back to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that Sunday man, like, come on, Torrents, get two calls
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm praying to get Soto or Pe
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: up to the plate.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: We're down to all I need is one guy to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: get on, you know. And then when you're.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Giving them and missing that much, it's like, come on, man,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: like we got to be better, you know, understanding that
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they're human and all that, but where there, you know, Yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I feel like as a manager, if you're in the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: middle of those tough stretches kind of like where we
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: were for the past three weeks or so.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I got thrown out of Pittsford the other day.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Same then you know, we're kind of coming back and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: mar Viento's gets a call three y old call where
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Soto's behind him, you know, so both for and before
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you know you got to go ahead, uh on the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: play with.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Totos so uh. I think every situation is different.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: But when when you're not winning us much, you feel
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: like you you gotta you gotta fight those.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Mandy, calm down. You guys are in first place.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: It's like been like this with you guys, right every
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: team is like, oh, we went down, we lose ten.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: We went ten, we lose ten, we went then we
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: lose ten. I guess our guys are in first place.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: You guys are in first place, okay, And I don't
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: care what Crats is.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna playing.

  Speaker 6: I'm just I don't care what Crat says. Okay, you
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: guys are in first place.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: But what I want to know is how important is
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: that taking two out of three from the Yankies. Yes,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: you would have liked to have swept them, but in
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: New York for the papers, for the back pages, and
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: then it catapulted you to the win yesterday? How important
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: was that series to win? Just to kind of get
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: you back on track?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, Jay, Honestly, going into that series, we were like,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: how are we.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Gonna get through three games? You know what we have
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You know, when you look at we have Hageman starting
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: on Friday, who kept us in the game, you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: first two batters, feed the Homers, and I thought he
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: did an unbelievable job, you know, just staying locked in
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and giving us a chance. But boping was short. Then
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: we have months and then on Sunday, going into the series,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: we didn't know who was pitching, you know. Uh, so
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: for us to take two out of three, you know
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: how special those games are. They're electric, They're fans every pitch,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: every bat, every play matters.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, it feels like a playoff atmosphere.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And for us to and then on Sunday we get
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: down and you know, the guys fought back. So yeah,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he was he was special. Obviously a good feeling and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that we were able to win the series.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Air all right, one manager, one of your buddies, Aaron
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: Boone has been getting so much flack. He's been getting
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: criticized by fans for saying during their tough stretch, the
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Yankees tough stretch, that the team is still good. Telling
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: the team that they are still good? What else are
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: you supposed to do as a manager? You can't, like,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: I don't understand how fans can sit there and go, oh,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Aaron Boone needs to lose his job if he's delusional
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: and says his team is still good. What are you
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: supposed to do as a manager?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I mean you're gonna go out there and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: all we sock with the worst team in baseball.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Good. The reality is that they're good. They've got a
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: good team. You know, we're good.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of good teams in the big leagues
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and that's what makes this league, you know, a tough league, man,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and understanding that every team is going to go through
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: stretches like this.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: The fan bases are not happy when you're going through it,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and rightfully so.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But you just have to be consistent, man, and you know,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: attack the issues and then some of the things that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you're not doing well, there's a reason why you're losing games.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: And our job, as my job as a manager, our
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: job is as a coaching staff, is to continue to coach,
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: continue to teach, and continue to push guys move to
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: move forward, but at the same time understanding and staying
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: consistent that you'll get through it, believing in your players.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Last one, Mandy Pete Alonzo is not doing the home
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: run derby. Were you surprised that he actually, on his
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: own decided that he didn't want to participate this year?
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: And you have any thoughts at all as a manager
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: on him not doing it or do you really not care?
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, Pete's been able to perform after home run derbys,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: so I think that narrative gets overplayed, especially with a
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: lumberjack like Pete.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: But what do you think?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So I was yes and no.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I was kinda like I thought he was gonna do
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: it when when they told me that Pete was an
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: All Star.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: In my head, I was like, He's doing the home
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: run derby.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And then when I found out that he wasn't do it,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, hmmm uh.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: But watching him, uh.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: This year, with the way he's preparing his routine, like
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: how locked him, how multi meticulous he is, Like, this
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: guy's on a mission right now.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm not surprised by it. You know that he wants,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: he wants to go, he wants to play.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: But again, like you said, this is a guy that's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: done it for the past I don't know how many years,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't affect him, but he felt it was
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: best for him for the team, uh to stay away
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: this this time. And I respect that, you know, proud
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: of him obviously for making the All Star team.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: But I was a leader surprised, not gonna lie.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: You're mad. You're mad, That's what it is, because you
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: were hoping he was gonna have you throw to him
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: in the derby, be.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Honest, Nope, Nope, I don't throw b P no more cratzy.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: When did that happen?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Just?
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: I mean just in spring training you were throwing BP.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Did you hurt yourself or you you reach your pitch limit?
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: No, man, it's just by the time I get out,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the guys got their routines. You know, we got a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: lot of good BP throwing spring training. I throw all
• 18:27
